Leaking coke can
09:36 AM on Saturday 14 June 2008
See the following picture of a coke can that was leaking. One fine day, I opened the cupboard and found that there was a pool of brownish liquid. Upon further checking, I found that one of the coke cans was leaking. The hole was very small resulting in a fine stream of liquid that was very hard to s ...
Interesting gene names
09:35 AM on Saturday 14 June 2008
In my job as a HTP at blueprint, I deal with a lot of genes. During data collection, I would be collecting information from several data sources and these data would be scrolling on my terminal (tells me that things are still moving). Sometimes, some really interesting gene names or gene description ...

ASF streaming audio on the macs
07:41 PM on Friday 09 November 2007
Previously I tried Windows Media Player for this, but it never worked. Trust Microsoft to produce a piece of software that does not even work with their own standards. This has to be a conspiracy for people to get upset over their macs. Anyway, the way to do this is to use VLC , an open source med ...

My wife got me a spanking new rev b macbook pro. So happy. So the dell laptop which I got in early 2006 as a temporary solution has been sold off. Same goes for the powermac since I do not really use it much and the new macbook pro could basically do everything that it did. Amazing machine, so happy ...

Almost a year since I last updated this and in the process, I have moved house and managed to wire the whole place with LAN points. Well the setup has changed yet again. The Athlon64 machine has been converted to a full-time linux machine and it is now the 24/7 server. I moved the ANTEC power supply ...

Baby Esther
01:05 PM on Friday 10 March 2006
On 10 Match 2006 at 1305, baby Esther was born. Measuring 50cm and weighing in at 3.4kg, she is a chubby one :-) Her name is a play on Ernest's name and mine. Ernest's name is almost the same as mine except for a single insertion and one mismatch while Esther's name is a perfect subsequence match wi ...
My setup 20051111 update
12:00 PM on Friday 11 November 2005
Got myself a ATEN 4 port USB KVM so instead of moving between machines, I hooked them all up together. Really convenient, access to 3 platforms from a single location. So far so good, the only problem is the windows platform which seems to have erratic mouose movements in games. No too sure what is ...
Wallpapers
07:37 PM on Monday 26 September 2005
This is a wallpaper that I created sometime back. I think it was on Christmas Day 2003. This was created using a mix of photoshop and 3D max. An abstract design which looks pretty cool (at least to me). This one was actually used for a competition where I got a $200 cash prize. Sorry about the funny ...
